If that other worksheet is in a different workbook and that different workbook
is closed, then yep, you'll only see 255 characters.

But if that "sending" workbook is open, your colleague will see all the text
returned.

That's the way excel works with closed files.

Hi All,

I am asking this question on behalf of a colleague, so have not conducted
much investigation into it myself (is year end = busy here).

It appears that only 255 characters are displayed in a cell that is linked
to another worksheet.

Is this a problem? Is there a workaround?

TIA and Regards

Matt
